Didn't occur after the reboot following the upgrade. Just something I noticed after a powerdown (shutdown -h -p now)
Started the laptop again later and when running startx: # startx -- /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -br -nolisten tcp it just sat at the X cursor and the cursed grey weave pattern. Did a ctrl-alt-backspace and fired up the above startx line again and my desktop (e17) started fine. 1st time appeared to hang around here: E_RANDIR CONFIG RESTORE PAUSE! Might just be this poor tortured laptop (rattled around in an 18-wheeler off and on over the years plus survived several overseas vacations courtesy of the the army), if so, sorry for the noize. - Z
